 Mumbai-based VAS service provider, NetCore has acquired Greynium Information Technologies Pvt. Ltd. which owns local languages properties (portals) in digital medium under the oneindia.in brand as well as classifieds space under the Click.in. NetCore’s owner Rajesh Jain is already an investor in his personal capacity in Greynium through his venture fund, Emergic Venture Capital.
